The aim of the course is to contribute to the understanding of the sustainability of our current energy systems. Sustainability here means maintaining diversity and productivity for as long as possible, but preferably indefinitely. Existing energy sources based mainly on fossil fuels and uranium are currently undergoing a system change. There are three main aspects of energy transition: energy efficiency moderates demand growth; the decarbonisation of the electricity sector; and the electrification of energy end-use sectors. The aim is to reflect this remarkable progress in the field of alternative methods and technologies for the production of basic energy carriers such as heat, transport fuels and power. This system change will not be possible without the temporary support of existing fossil and nuclear resources but the aim is to seek a potential solution through knowledge of low emission energy systems, their physical principles, economics, environmental impact and their integration into transnational energy systems. The fast-growing renewable energy sector will soon move from the innovative phase (up to 2% market penetration) to peaking (5-10% market penetration). During RES peaking fossil fuel consumption is also at its peak. In the longer term, rapid change (10-50%) of the RES market penetration) will follow, with fossil resources moving to the end-game stage.Only DSP students who have not completed the Alternative Energy Sources course in Master's degree can register for this subject.
